NACOC raises alarm over rising drug abuse among SHS students, links trend to indiscipline

The Ashanti Regional Office of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has raised concerns over the growing abuse of illicit drugs among young people, warning that the trend is contributing to increasing cases of indiscipline in senior high schools across the country. According to the Commission, the use of narcotic substances by some students is negatively affecting behaviour, undermining discipline, and creating challenges for school authorities, teachers and guidance counsellors.
